Over-exertion in lifting objects

EE was installing ridged rail belt structure. He was lifting with both hands when he felt a strain in his groin. He tried to work thru this for weeks and weeks, but then decided to consult a doctor, who found he had a hernia. His first day off work was 9-21-10. He is doing well now.
